California

Teeth stained red from a dark cabernet
cs I watched the sun fade along Half Moon Bay
California, still holding your hand
Farmland, fruit stands, and cows by the sea
Highway 1 curves around like the rings of a tree
California, still holding your hand
Please remember
Don't you dare forget
Please remember
Don't you dare forget
I can't remember what you even look like
But I think I may have saw you in a dream last night
California, still holding your hand
One too many lead me back on the road
It took me four states and one day to drive back home
California, still holding your hand
Please remember
Don't you dare forget
Please remember
Don't you dare forget
Like a trowel that turns an orchard into ashes and dust
Trees and leaves are tended to decay and rust
California, still holding your hand
Somewhere deep down there, I wish you the best
Inside me somewhere, I wish you happiness
California, still holding your hand
Please remember
Don't you dare forget
Please remember
Don't you dare forget
